Working smart vs working hard - an ultimate guide

[Harrisonimo]

I do strongly believe in working smart to working hard. Here in my country, a lot doing the 8-5 office work have been doing the working hard. And I see a lot not doing office work earning quite much more than the office workers. Even making a comparison of site labourers and office workers too is another example of working hard and working smart. Now that we have machines available, it is important that works are done smartly and save time and optimize efficiency.

Many people say that you should work hard if you want to succeed in life and rise to riches. I'd rather say that working hard will only make your boss richer, not yourself. On the other hand, there is an age-old adage which says that you should be working smarter, not harder. But working smarter is a vague idea, and I'm interested to hear what people have to say on this topic. As far as I'm concerned, I think that working smart comes down to creating environment where you will have more chances to meet Lady Luck smiling at you, where you will be able to hit a lucky strike because luck plays an ever-important role in our lives. For example, if you want to find a date to have a romantic relationship with or you are looking for a one-night stand only, you will go to a beach or a bar since your chances are higher there, right? The same approach seems to be applicable to work as well. In other words, stick around the places where your chances of success are the highest.

So share your opinions here, guys. What is your practical take on working smart?

It is very important to act smart in modern times. I see a lot of my friends just doing their boring jobs and being exploited by their company. Many of them are quite talented and can really earn huge money by starting pout their own ventures. But it is hard for them to think out of box and take risks. I was also stuck with a job that paid pennies. I worked on my communication skills, applied in a reputed company and was hired for 5 times the salary.

You have to be smart to figure out how to work smart. And many smart people do try to put themselves in optimal situations.

If you work hard in the young age,you can live your old age piece with huge money in your hand and you are no need to depend on others.
Many had became millionaire by this hard work.So I think it's better to work hard than work smart.

For me both are needed, working hard and working smartly because if you don't have those capabilities you cannot do your job well. It is our way to be succesful in our assign task.

Practically,working smart is the right thing to do,yes we all wanted to succeed in life but i think we must be smart enough to achieve it.Its right that we have to stick around places where we get higher chances to succeed and get out from our comfort zone.Just like my experience,i am working too hard and be the best employee a company could ever had,for 13 long years i don't see such changes.Salary was not enough most especially now that im already married with my kids.Inorder to sustain their need ,I need to borrow money from anyone i know with interest.I need to prioritize their needs than mine,but now that i knew bitcoin i wanted to be out of my comfort zone and try another alternative ways to earn as an additional income.As when i able to earn i will probably invest my money outside crypto inorder to have other alternative source of income.

Good way - turn a hobby into a job.
But there we have a problem - if hobby becomes a job, you can start hating it

I you love what you do then you are not working, you are more than enjoying it.

Interest is an important thing which you need to have in whatever work you are doing. I think of working smartly to be much more important thing than that of working hard. It is because of the reason that if you had used up your mind in the best possible manner and that you have come up with the best possible solution of doing that work, then it will not be much difficult for you to do that job and that you will be able to complete that without putting enough efforts.

I think I will go for both working hard and working smart because are both applicable in man daily lives but it the area where you make use of it that matters.There fore, ones need the require instinct, skill and knowledge in other to use it right.

[Hell-raiser]

It's a subtle line, you can work diligently and hard as a horse your whole life and feel like a rat walking on a spinning wheel. I believe more than increasing your income, working smart means how efficient you can be with your daily hours, are you using them correctly? Are you not wasting time? And also means how much you know yourself, do you know if you're overworking yourself? Are you sure you have enough time and skill? And last thing is your ability to make plans. What you gonna do with your money? Invest? Immigrate? Study? And for last and not less important, balance it well with your personal life, so you never forget who you really are and enjoy life to the fullest.

This is a tough question, the answer to which we can't know in advance in many if not most cases. If you ask me, in hindsight I often come to understand that I spent many hours, days, and even weeks doing useless stuff that didn't pay back or didn't pay back as much as I had first expected and hoped for. It makes an interesting case to the effect that it didn't matter how smart or how hard I worked since it was all mainly in vain. So before starting off on a working smart journey, make sure first that you are on the right road.

everybody has their own advantages we can not consider it the same, there are smart coding there are smart math, there are smart robotics, there are ordinary ordinary but have good body strength, for example in sports, many athletes are rich with strength body just like boxing and bodybuilding, I myself a little smart in math and analysis then I choose to be a credit analyst

Yeah, everyone is born with their own pros and cons and there is no one who has the perfection as an asset or a trait. As far as working smart is concerned, it is the demand of present world where everything happens in the matter of seconds and you don’t have often enough time to handle situations. For that, you need to smart and quick. Hard working teaches you smartness as well.

[Hell-raiser]

These two are both important and having these two will lead you to a successful life.
But in my own opinion, i will prefer working hard. Because working hard will lead you to become smart, you will not be able to learn or to do something hard without hardwork. Working smart without hardwork is nothing. Thats only my opinion because i believe nothing beats hardwork.

Yeah, you're right, it is just your opinion. And your choice at the end of the day, after all. Though I don't know how working hard will lead you to working smart. Personally, I see no causal arrow pointing in that direction. In my opinion, working hard will only lead you to exhaustion and burnout. Anyway, there are quite a few people working hard like rats on a running wheel, and they are essentially where they started at, living paycheck-to-paycheck. Ironically, the only advantage they are able to obtain via working hard through years is being eligible to take out a loan in a bank. And then work even harder to pay it back.

It is the demand of the fast moving market and the world that things should be done in a smart way utilizing minimum energy and time. Those days are gone when people were paid for the hard work they had done, now people are appraised based on their smartness and innovations. Those who work hard, it is not like they stop working hard. Work hard but in a smart way. This can make impossible even possible.

Since, from my experience, I never know where those right places are, I think the best approach is to try to do at least something rather than thinking of a strategy over and over again. Of course I agree that working smart is better than working hard, but to be smart you have to get some experience first, so I think it's better while you are young to concentrate on working hard, and then after some years of hard working it will be easier for you find a way to work smart.

I agree with this, it will be a lot harder to figure out how to work smarter if you do not have any experience trying to work harder, as they say the necessity is the mother of all invention, how are you going to create a way to do something in a more efficient manner if you do not have hands on experience in your field of work? This is why working hard goes hand in hand with working smarter, only after having years of experience doing something you will get insight about the ways to improve the process and tools of your trade.

[supermam]

Working hard and working smart must be together and for me i would rather select working smart because in my experience working smartly means working with confidence you love what you are doing and thinking of the possibilities to become more successful in life you don't depend on what the managers want you to do because it's the only task given to you, you have the decision and tactics on how your business lead to success that's what smart worker can do.

Working hard means working 8 hours a.day just to have your salary at the end of the month no goals to achieve just work hard for the promotion unlike working smart you have your own strategy on how to manage your time and effort and also the ways on how to earn more and to make your business more successful to attain your goal in life.

Both working smartly and work hard is good to have. We all know that bitcoin is more on investment and doing job, so it is important to work smartly because you need to have quality post to achieve it you should have the knowledge and be wise in your decision.

[Sadlife]

Working hard will not always be a guarantee to make you rich because you will only make your boss richer. But it's different when you work hard for a business that you, yourself is the boss. I guess hardwork pays off if you own the business yourself and the effort you've made for that business is well worth it, when your the one to gain it all. Also working smarter is just doing hard task simple and faster. Therefore both is useful when working on something.

Your method of work is really great. I would choose to work smarter than working hard. But if I want to make more money than I have to work hard. That means working selectively and focusing on that choice. I have read the 80/20 Rulebook and learned how to do the best job for me.

[NJB18]

I of course prefer being smart than any other options. Working smart + working hard wins though but we are only to pick one here. Smart people always find ways for an easier route with the same results or maybe even better or slightly behind but compared to the effort then it is worth it.
